Chapter 515

"Minister, those Chinese people have been sent to Amsterdam by ASML for tourism!" Jia Yapeng and his assistant quickly reported shortly after they left.

"Hahaha! ASML people really put down money. They even used this routine. Unfortunately, it's useless for me. I don't use it!" the minister couldn't help laughing.

"Minister, what does ASML mean?" the assistant asked curiously.

"What else can it mean? Of course, it means that they had a good time and had a good conversation, so ASML specially paid them to Amsterdam to have a good time. By the way, if I don't raise the price again, I'll sell this lithography machine to them Chinese!" the minister smiled.

"Minister, what should we do?" the assistant frowned and said, "although these are lies to us, time is dragging on day by day. There is not much time limit from the head office. We can't drag on here all the time. It has been more than a month!"

"The company's new CPU is waiting for the latest equipment. If it can't be completed within a week, the company may..."

"Don't worry, I've thought about it. ASML people want to borrow these Chinese people to disgust us, but we can't take advantage of these Chinese people!" a funny smile appeared on the corner of the minister's mouth.

——————————

"Teacher, it's a pity that you didn't go this time. The Dutch girls are really enthusiastic, and they give you invoices, ha ha!" a few days later, boss Jia came back from Amsterdam, hugged Ni Guangnan's shoulder and laughed.

"Fuck off, I see you disgusting and dirty!" Ni Guangnan said unhappily. Facing the ASML invitation, boss Jia lived up to the members of the delegation who came with him and agreed very readily.

Anyway, ASML paid for it. Boss Jia has nothing to refuse, and everyone in the delegation also sincerely lamented that boss Jia is really a good boss of Tianzi No. 1. There must be nothing wrong with following boss Jia.

So the whole delegation enjoyed it.

Of course, our Ni Guangnan is very disciplined. He doesn't go anywhere. He just stays in the hotel and studies the quotation given by ASML. Compared with boss Jia, he doesn't know how high it is.

"Teacher, how's your research? Do you think this quotation is flawed?" boss Jia asked curiously.

"Of course, according to the equipment and equipment listed in the quotation, the cost of this 150 million machine is 50 million. Their ASML machine can earn at least $100 million. Do you think the price is a pit?" Ni Guangnan said angrily "But then again, the R & D cost of this kind of machine is too high, and these have to be apportioned into the cost. If you don't sell it more expensive, it's really difficult to recover the cost."

"How much do you think we should set as the reserve price?" boss Jia asked with a smile.

"Reserve price? ASML doesn't accept price negotiation?" Ni Guangnan was stunned and said, "as far as I know, ASML sells machines as much as he sets a price. He never negotiates with others!"

"Hey, it's different this time. I'm afraid we can pick up a big bargain this time..." just when boss Jia said this, a door bell rang in the room. Boss Jia looked at the video doorbell machine at the door and saw that he was a foreigner in formal clothes.

"It doesn't look like a waiter! It won't be the one who checks the water meter!" boss Jia muttered, but thinking that this is a five-star hotel and there should be no problem in safety, he opened the door and put the two people outside.

"Hello, I'd like to introduce myself. My name is kramir. I'm the director of the purchasing department of Intel Corporation. I've come to visit Mr. Jia today!" the other party said with a smile.

"It's Mr. Intel, please come in!" boss Jia warmly welcomed the people in. Both sides sat on the sofa in the living room. Boss Jia also poured a glass of wine for kramir.

"Thanks a lot!" said kramir with a smile.

"Mr. kramir's sudden visit today must be something important!" boss Jia asked with a smile after the two politely exchanged a few words.

"It's not important, but there's a consensus. I hope we can reach an agreement with Mr. Jia!" kramir laughed.

"Oh! I don't know what the consensus is? Please tell Mr. kramir frankly!" boss Jia narrowed his eyes and said.

"Well, I heard that Mr. Jia's delegation wants to purchase 70nm lithography machine this time, right?" kramir asked with a smile.

"Oh, that's true. Mr. kramir, you're really well informed, but I think you're actually here to buy this machine, aren't you!" said boss Jia.

"Yes!" kramir nodded. "But at the same time, I know you're not going to buy this lithography machine at all, are you?"

"We..." Ni Guangnan was about to speak. Boss Jia pressed on his shoulder and said with a smile, "don't be so absolute. In fact, we are still very interested in the lithography machine. Even if the price is too expensive, we can only have a look and satisfy our greed!"

"Isn't it? This time ASML is so hateful that the price is set at $150 million, which is killing us as fat sheep!" kramir said angrily.

"Yes! Yes!" boss Jia nodded hard and said he agreed with kramir very much.

"Intel believes that $80 million is a reasonable price, and $90 million at most is the top, but ASML is very insidious and cunning. They want to use both of us to compete with each other and raise the price, which is pushing both of us into the fire pit!" kramir was even more angry.

"That's right! This is really hateful!" boss Jia was also angry.

"So both of us should stand together tightly and not be cheated by ASML. I think it's better for us to form a price alliance? We all agree on the bottom line of $90 million at the same time, so ASML has no way to take us!" kramir finally tried to be poor and said his purpose.

"Of course it's excellent!" boss Jia nodded and said with a helpless expression on his face. "But Mr. kramir, it's still difficult for us to make 90 million dollars. We're afraid..."

"It's all right! It's all right!" kramir said with a look I knew would be like this. He immediately smiled and patted boss Jia on the shoulder. "If you can't pay the 90 million, we Intel can lend you the 90 million!"

"You lent us $90 million to buy us machines? That's no good, I'm afraid not. We can't afford it!" Jia Yapeng shook his head desperately.

"Hey, hey, I didn't lend you $90 million, but I lent you $180 million!" kramir laughed.

"That's even worse. We can't afford to pay back so much money. We're here to see!" boss Jia shook his head like a rattle.

"Don't worry, it's absolutely all right!" kramir smiled more happily. "If your company is worried that it can't pay off this debt, you just need to sell the two lithography machines you bought to Intel. We are willing to buy the machines from you at the price of US $91 million each. What do you think?"

"I see. You want to borrow our hand to force ASML to sell these things to us for $90 million, and then we can resell them to you!" boss Jia suddenly realized.

"Hehe, if Mr. Jia wants to understand this, I don't object!" kramir smiled. "At the same time, we can also sign an agreement. We can guarantee that we will buy your lithography machine at the price of 91 million each within a week without charging any loan interest. What do you think of Mr. Jia?"

"91 million! Then the extra 1 million..."

"The extra 1 million is naturally your reward!" kramir laughed. "I understand your Chinese rules. I can't let my friends work for us in vain, so this 1 million is even the labor fee for this time. I think if you can return home with 1 million dollars instead of spending money on this business trip, you must have a bright future!"

"Well... How interesting... Besides, it's not easy for us to tell our superiors about this kind of thing afterwards. We..." boss Jia hesitated.

"Mr. Jia!" kramir suddenly leaned in boss Jia's ear and whispered, "I have an anonymous Swiss bank account with 200000 dollars in it, which are all yours!"

"Hmm!" boss Jia snorted softly

The next night, after asking for instructions from the headquarters, Intel signed a secret contract with Daqian.
